Hoare Auctions, Jeffrey. NUMISMATIC AUCTION CATALOGUES. Toronto and London (Ontario), 1986–2009. Fifty-nine auction catalogues, being: Nos. 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10*, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16*, 17*, 18, 20, 21, 22*, 23–24*, 25*, 26*, 27*, 28*, 29, 30*, 31*, 32, 50*, 51*, 52*, 53, 54*, 55*, 56, 57*, 58*, 59, 60*, 61*, 62, 63, 64*, 66*, 67*, 69*, 71*, 72*, 73*, 74*, 75*, 76*, 77*, 78*, 82*, 83*, 84*, 87*, 88, 97, 99. Sales marked with an asterisk are Rita Robins’s annotated saleroom copies (see comments). Sales 23 and 24 are in one combined catalogue, as published. Also included are two of Hoare’s non-numismatic catalogues. Varying formats, all in original covers. Most with prices realized list printed in the following catalogue; some sales with separate lists laid in. Generally near fine. A substantial group of these significant Canadian coin sales, many of them hand-annotated saleroom copies with notes recorded by Rita Robins. Essential for collectors of Canadian colonial tokens, decimal coinage, and paper money. Hoare originally numbered his militaria and numismatic sales separately, and had conducted 18 militaria sales and 32 numismatic sales when he decided to combine the series in 1995. However, the combined series was erroneously begun with Sale 50 (skipping 33–49 entirely), when fifty sales had already been conducted. For this reason, the numbering has always been off by one. Many of Hoare’s sales have been conducted in conjunction with the Torex show. Rita Robins traveled to auctions with her husband Doug Robins, the well-known specialist in Canadian coins, and the annotated catalogues tend to be extensively and thoroughly annotated for the series in which the couple were interested (i.e., not all series).
